Line 130:

In some scenarios, synchronization is mandatory. For example, if a method modifies a static field, and the method must be called by multiple threads, then synchronization is mandatory and concurrency utilities such as {{code|CopyOnWriteArrayList}} should not be used.

However synchronization can incur a performance overhead. For scenarios where synchronization is not mandatory, then the {{code|CopyOnWriteArrayList}} is a viable, thread-safe alternative to synchronization that leverages [[Multimulti-core processor]]s and results in higher [[Central processing unit|CPU]] utilization.
